I have a -include that includes all my defaults and where's in it. All of the content in my portal -include that .fex. It works great and I can set default values through there. I have this -DEFAULT &FACILITYID= 'HHMC'; default and that works but I would like that to have two values and cant figure out the syntax. I have tried -DEFAULT &FACILITYID= 'HHMC', 'HHPO'; AND -DEFAULT &FACILITYID= 'HHMC' OR 'HHPO; AND -DEFAULT &FACILITYID= ('HHMC', 'HHPO'); Can someone help me with the syntax please?
Thank you!

How do you want &FACILITYID to be used? If you're using it in a WHERE test you need to make sure the values are OR'd.

So are you using something like this?
  
-SET &FACILITYID = 'HHMC'' OR ''HHPO';

As BabakNYC said will need to add OR between each value.
Also, since you are trying to mimic how a multi valued ampersand variable behaves will need quotes around each of the values to be stored into the variable.
The way to do that is to escape the single quotes with a second single quote and have it all within quotes to treat the entire line as a string.

So something like this.
-DEFAULT &FACILITYID= '''HHMC'' OR ''HHPO''';
